Overview
LTE/LTE-Advanced FDD and TDD Measurement Applications
The LTE/LTE-Advanced FDD and TDD measurement applications transform the X-Series signal analyzers with multi-touch into 3GPP LTE/LTE-Advanced standard-based RF transmitter testers. The applications provide fast, one-button RF conformance measurements to help you design, evaluate, and manufacture your LTE and LTE-Advanced base stations (eNB) and user equipment (UE). The measurement applications closely follow the 3GPP standard, allowing you to stay on the leading edge of your design and manufacturing challenges.
X-Series Measurement Applications
X-Series measurement applications increase the capability and functionality of Keysight Technologies, Inc. signal analyzers to speed time to insight. They provide essential measurements for specific tasks in general-purpose, cellular communications, wireless connectivity applications, covering established standards or modulation types. Applications are supported on both benchtop and modular, with the only difference being the level of performance achieved by the hardware you select.
Top Features
With the LTE/LTE-Advanced FDD and TDD measurement application, you can perform RF transmitter measurements on eNB and UE devices in time, frequency, and modulation domains. Measurement setups are simplified with automatic detection of downlink channels and signals. For eNB conformance testing, measurement is simplified by recalling E-TM presets according to 3GPP TS 36.141 specifications.
NB-IoT Downlink Measurement
NB-IoT downlink modulation analysis measurement showing constellation, spectrum, Error Summary, Frame Summary, EVM vs. subcarrier and EVM vs. Time. Measurements are color-coded on different physical channels and physical signals such as NPSS, NSSS, NPBCH, NPDCCH and NPDSCH. Up to 12 markers with marker coupling between different measurements are available for easier troubleshooting.
NB-IoT Uplink Measurement
NB-IoT uplink modulation analysis measurement showing constellation, spectrum, Error Summary, Frame Summary, EVM vs. subcarrier and EVM vs. Time. Measurements are color-coded on different signal type data or DMRS. Up to 12 markers with marker coupling between different measurements are available for easier troubleshooting.
eMTC Uplink Measurement
eMTC uplink modulation analysis measurement showing constellation, spectrum, Error Summary, Frame Summary, EVM vs. subcarrier and RB detected allocation. Measurements are color-coded on different signal type data (QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM) or DMRS. Up to 12 markers with marker coupling between different measurements are available for easier troubleshooting.
Measurement Details
All of the RF transmitter measurements as defined by the 3GPP standard, as well as a wide range of additional measurements and analysis tools are available with a press of a button. These measurements are fully remote controllable via the IEC/IEEE bus or LAN, using SCPI commands.
Analog baseband measurements for LTE/LTE-Advanced are available on a PXA or MXA signal analyzer equipped with BBIQ hardware. Supported baseband measurements include all of the modulation quality plus I/Q waveform measurement.
It is important to note that the measurements shown in the LTE FDD and TDD tables are available for a single carrier, while the measurements for LTE-Advanced FDD and TDD columns are available for multiple carriers with up to 5 component carriers.
